I had actually been looking at the picture of the handle last night and thinking about the forces involved in sawing and how the two bolts were in a sorta weak place for pushing and pulling on the blade. But replaceable blades didn't occur to me.
Thanks!
Paul.

Also received a copy of 'The Precision Handcutting of Dovetails' .. Cecil E Pierce 1995.
Is this book known around? He uses a hacksaw with top-half the blade cut away to cut to 1/16" from the line and pare ...
Many delightfully non-mainstream ideas ... compared to today.

Peter nailed it. (As usual.)
GAM and GGs,
The handle Erv is referring to is listed as the Garland Adjustable
Handle in the c. 1913 C. E. Jennings & Co Price List No. 13
reprint that MWTCA did in 1985.
The text for the handle reads, "The feature of the handle is the
adjustable lever that operates the screw which holds the blade.
The blade may be instantly removed from the handle without use
of a screw driver and another blade inserted. A screw driver
may be used if it is desirable to tighten the screws to render the
blade rigid."
Provided with a number of combination sets of saws containing
from two to six blades.
The text on one page indicates that a patent was applied for but
in looking for it rather extensively under the usual patent categories,
I haven't been able to locate a patented issued under that name
or with that particular feature. If I had a patent date.....
Best, Brian

Paul
Having seen your "Report No.5" I concluded there must be at least four more floating around .
Nice work.
